    • Goofs
      When the blackout occurs, there are shots of various places across the globe simultaneously descending into darkness, yet half of the globe would have been in daylight - except the daylight half is mostly Pacific Ocean with the USA after sunset in the west, night-time Eurasia in the middle, and Japan before dawn in the east.
    • Quotes

      John Lennon: You want a good life? It's not complicated. Tell the girl you love that you love her. And tell the truth to everyone whenever you can.

    • Crazy credits
      As well as the credits being shown in a The Beatles-style font, whenever a name contains the letter B during the non-scrolling section of the closing credits, the B is larger than the rest of the text.

    Tomorrow - the future

    What would you do, if something happened and seemingly everyone has no recollection of one of the best known groups ever? That would be the Beatles in that case, if you were wondering. And add to that that you would be a struggling musician - which would only add to the already quite high confusion.

    Now this movie flows along as one may expect (if you have accepted the concept and suspended your disbelief, because not only is no one aware of the Beatles but they have been erased from everywhere except our main characters brain) ... which is either great or confusing to watch.

    Danny Boyle does a really good job with a one punch movie tag line. The main actor is really good and while the love story is so obvious it hurts, everyone can enjoy this ... I'll call it fairy tale ...
